Product Information
Full details
This Diall blue and white polypropylene rope is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing a strong, versatile cord for securing, lifting, or tying. Its key benefit is its high load capacity (1200 kg) and durable braided construction, offering reliability for heavy-duty tasks. A potential caveat is its specific length and diameter, which may not suit extremely long-range or very fine applications.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight this rope can safely hold?
The rope has a maximum load capacity of 1200 kg and a breaking force of 1440 kg. Always consider a safety margin and do not exceed the maximum load capacity for safe operation.
Can this rope be used for climbing or overhead lifting?
This rope is designed for general use, securing, and lifting of non-critical loads. It is not rated or intended for climbing, rappelling, or any life-support applications.
How should I clean the rope?
Clean the rope with plain water and a soft brush if necessary. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the polypropylene material. Always allow the rope to dry completely before storing.
Is the rope resistant to UV light?
Polypropylene offers some UV resistance, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade the material over time. For extended outdoor use, it's advisable to store the rope away from direct sunlight when not in use.
What is the material of the rope?
The rope is made from durable polypropylene.
Can I cut the rope to a custom length?
Yes, the rope can be cut to any desired length. To prevent fraying, it is recommended to seal the cut ends with a flame (carefully, using a lighter or torch) or by wrapping the end tightly with tape before cutting.
Troubleshooting
Rope appears to be fraying.
Inspect the rope for damage. If fraying is minor, you may be able to reinforce the end with tape or by melting (use caution). If fraying is significant, discontinue use and replace the rope.
Rope is stiff and difficult to knot.
Polypropylene can become stiff over time, especially if exposed to cold. Gently warming the rope (e.g., by leaving it in a warm room, not with direct heat) may make it more pliable. Ensure the rope is clean and free of grit.
Rope discoloration.
The blue and white colors are primarily for visibility. Minor fading or discoloration from dirt or exposure is usually cosmetic and does not affect the rope's strength, provided the fibers are intact.
